- It allows maximum contact between mother and baby
HOW TO USE
- Always wash the nipple shield in hot soapy water and rinse in hot water before and after use.
- Place the nipple shield in hot water prior to nursing. This makes the shield more pliable and adhere to the breast better.
- A small amount of lanolin cream under the rim, but not in the nipple portion, may also help it adhere to the breast.
- Handle the nipple shield by the rim. Turn the nipple shield inside-out halfway. Place the nipple shield over the breast with the nipple centered inside the nipple portion of the shield.
- Then flip the shield right side out, enclosing as much of the nipple as possible. If using the Contact nipple shield, position the open section where the baby's nose will contact the breast.
- Support the breast with a ?C? hold. Place thumb on top of the breast and nipple shield and with fingers below, away from the areola (the dark pigmented skin surrounding the nipple).
- Tickle baby's lower lip with nipple until he opens wide, then quickly pull baby onto the nipple shield, so baby takes as much of the nipple as possible into his mouth.
